She Is Not Lucy Luan
Lord Faustin replied, "Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? We're still kneeling here!"
Lily Bai: "Oh..."
The Guardian Drake Lord called out, "Lord Faustin. You and your disciples can return to your seats! No need to keep kneeling!"
Lord Faustin: "But what about my disciples..."
The Guardian Drake Lord said, "Well... let's discuss that later, shall we?"
At the same time, Lord Faustin heard the Guardian Drake Lord's voice in his mind: "I never expected this matter to involve Leo Li and Lord Noctis. It's best not to bring it up again for now."
Lord Faustin nodded, stood up, and prepared to return to their seats with his two disciples.
But just then, the Celestial Empress spoke: "Hold on."
The three stopped again and turned to look at the Celestial Empress.
"Tell me, doesn't Lord Faustin's female disciple look familiar?" The Celestial Empress pointed at Lily Bai.
No one dared to speak.
Only the princess who came with the Celestial Empress said, "Why does she look so much like Lucy Luan?"
Lily Bai lowered her gaze, silent and motionless.
"Exactly!" The Celestial Empress raised her brows. "I'm starting to suspect she might be Lucy Luan reincarnated! How could she look so much like her?"
"Aunt, I have the same suspicion," Leo Li said smoothly, picking up the thread. "That's why I specially borrowed the Chrono Dial from High God Felicity Quinn. I was planning to take it to the Sigil Sect and test Lily Bai's past life, but since she's here today, why not do it now? It'll satisfy everyone's curiosity!"
The gods in the hall reacted in various ways.
Some frowned deeply.
Some looked openly curious.
Others seemed visibly nervous.
Harvey Quinn glanced at Lily Bai.
"She's not Lucy Luan!" Henry Xiao shouted. "She's Lily Bai!"
She's not Lucy Luan!
She definitely isn't Lucy Luan!
Could it be that Lucy Luan's soul was not destroyed, but reincarnated?
"Lily Bai," Leo Li called. "Come here."
Lily Bai stepped forward, her gaze falling on the artifact Leo Li had summoned.
The artifact looked like a miniature sundial: a tray supporting a slanted stone disk, inscribed with profound runes, with a single pointer at its center.
This must be the Chrono Dial they were talking about.
Can this thing really track someone's past lives? She was genuinely curious: who had she been before? What had she done?
"Lily Bai, don't be nervous," Leo Li said. "You just happen to resemble someone. We're just curious why. You won't feel a thing."
Lily Bai: "Oh!"
"Leo Li!" Yin Shu suddenly called out. "You burned her soul with hellfire. Her soul has long since scattered! The resemblance must be because she's from the White Clan!"
"That's right!" Suddenly, Henry Xiao stepped forward and stood beside Lily Bai. "Little Fish can't possibly be her reincarnation! Don't waste Cangwu's Chrono Dial—after all, it can only be used twice in a century!"
With that, he grabbed Lily Bai's hand and said, "Come, I'll take you out of here."
He was the Fourth Highness, and in the crowded room, no one dared stop him.
The Celestial Empress swept her sleeve, and Henry Xiao suddenly let out a muffled groan and fell to his knees.
He slowly turned his head to look at the Celestial Empress.
"Henry! Do you know what you're doing?" The Celestial Empress stared at him, her gaze sending a chill through Lily Bai.
Mother Empress...
"When it comes to Lucy Luan, I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go! You and she are mortal enemies—have you forgotten?" The Celestial Empress said.
"She's not Lucy Luan!" Henry Xiao shouted. "She's Lily Bai!"
She's not Lucy Luan!
She definitely isn't Lucy Luan!
